 OCTOBER 2025 WRITING AND WANDERING #Newsletter

Happy Fall! It would be my favorite season if it weren’t for the reality that winter is just around the corner. But until it freezes and snows, I’m enjoying the slower pace in an otherwise tourist town, reaping the harvest from my garden, watching college volleyball, and transiting to seasonal flavors like apples, pumpkin, and cinnamon.

WRITING

I’m waiting for the edits from my editor on the final novel in The Beartooth Chronicles, Winter Resurgence. I’m very excited about this story, but sad that the series will end. I will miss Ash, Caleb, and the rest of the resilient residents of Beartooth. If you haven’t started the series or aren’t caught up, I hope you will come onboard. It will be worth the time investment.

WANDERINGS

We took a road trip in September. We were anxious to go to the 2025 Pueblo Chile Festival and were lucky enough that we could attend University of Wyoming volleyball matches coming and going. We stocked up on green chilies and had a great time. We also love to support our alma mater every chance we get.

WHAT I’M READING AND NOTABLE NOVELS

I finished Season of the Harvest (Harvest Trilogy, Book 1) by Michael R. Hicks. It was well-written, and it covered nearly every trope and spanned multiple genres – crime including murder and assassination, FBI, Sci-fi, Dystopian, romance, dirty politicians, international incidents, genetically modified organisms, aliens, and more. Whew! But if you like a wild ride, you might give it a try.

I’m now reading Sanctus by Simon Toyne. So far it is very similar to Dan Brown. It’s taken a while to get into it, but it’s moving along nicely now.

Blogfest – Did I Notice Your Book?

What makes a new book jump out and beg to be read even if you’ve never heard of the author?   A great cover or a catchy title can grab the attention of a potential reader, and Beth Groundwater’s Wicked Eddies did just that.   It’s difficult to ignore, Wicked Eddies , and not be just a bit intrigued. Did I notice your book? If so, please comment. If you’re just curious, here’s the blurb. Fly fishing is dangerous?   River ranger Mandy Tanner had no idea until days before a huge tournament in Salida, Colorado. True, the Arkansas River can be a man-eater, but the rapids weren’t responsible for driving a hatchet into the neck of would-be competitor Howie Abbott—a secretive man who may have been cheating. While casting about for suspects, Mandy seeks clues from Abbott’s family members, including her best friend, bartender Cynthia Abbott. But when Cynthia becomes the prime suspect, Mandy realizes that trolling for the true killer has plunged her way too deep into wick...

Summer Lovin’ Blog Hop

It seems like love happens when you’re not looking for it, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Marked In Mexico’s Jessica, hasn’t figured out a way to break it off with the arrogant son of a prominent senator, who happens to be her boss at the law firm where she works. Oh, and did I mention her dad is totally pushing for her to marry the cheating scum? So, what’s a girl to do? Take a vacation with her best friend and try to get her priorities in order, which sounds like a great idea until…   An idyllic Caribbean vacation turns deadly when hostages are taken at one of Mexico’s most popular Mayan ruins. The kidnappers believe the abduction will be a simple way to negotiate the release of a colleague from a Texas prison, but matters become complicated and the stakes much higher when they realize one of their hostages is the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator and another is an ex-Army Ranger, who has no intention of playing by the rules.   I’ll be giving away a $10 Amazon...

I would like to introduce Australian western author, Susan Horsnell, and welcome her to Embrace Adventure.   Just living in Australia conjures up all kinds of adventurous images in my mind, and I dream of going there someday.
